I-Firefox Community Forum

Unlike before, many sites that I visit regularly, I am now having to log in every time I visit, including support.mozilla.org.

Did I unknowingly change something, some setting? or perhaps it's due to an addon?

I believe I had all this synced in Firefox Settings before I made the upgrade. Like all you fellow former users of Windows 10, I had to upgrade to Windows 11; and did so two days ago. Now, I found that I do not have under History any of the former sites I not only visited but also had tabs open. What can I do, if anything, to recover them? Under the Add-ons Manager, if this helps, I already had the app Tab Session Manager, but don't know how to use it. Thanks to all in advance who may have made this same upgrade. Many out there are still on Windows 10.

i have a firefox account on my old windows 10 computer. Firefox is having trouble "finding that site" for some sites I've used for years. I've checked internet settings in Firefox, reset my WIFI router, etc. with no response for connectivity. But I really guess I don't know what or where to check... Thought it was a VPN setting, not fixed. What should I try to find and correct my problem?? Ray ([edited email from public forum])

Certain PDFs only allow page view when opened in Firefox. When opened with other PDF viewing software or browsers (Microsoft Edge, Adobe Acrobat, Google Chrome), these PDFs allow continuous scrolling. I don't have this issue for most PDFs.

I've tried fixing the problem by editing the PDF settings in Adobe Acrobat but to no avail. When combining a PDF that works fine with a PDF that doesn't allow continuous scrolling in Firefox, it seems to take on the settings of not allowing continuous scrolling.

Examples (these link to documents from a Florida public document database): Example 1 (made with Power PDF Create) Example 2 (made with Adobe PDF Library): https://depedms.dep.state.fl.us:443/Oculus/servlet/shell?command=getEntity&[guid=5.506115.1]&[profile=Cleanup_Remediation]

Version 145.0.1.

It's a helpful feature I'm sure for some users to be able to drag a tag onto another tag and have it auto-create a group for you.

However I have been dragging tabs to reorganize their order in the window my whole life. Now, they are all of a sudden creating tab groups.

Example (one of many) I order my amaz*n shopping tabs by item price to compare.

I would like to turn this "drag to create tab group" OFF (back to the old behavior).

Please don't get confused: there's a new feature detailed in the blog: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/tab-groups-updates/ which is dragging onto a GROUP. I am NOT asking about that. I'm asking about dragging one tab on top of another which are NOT YET IN A GROUP and having firefox CREATE a NEW group.

In about:config searching for "drag" the only things I can see are

browser.tabs.dragDrop.createGroup.delayMS 240 browser.tabs.dragDrop.expandGroup.delayMS 350 browser.tabs.dragDrop.moveOverThresholdPercent 80 browser.tabs.dragDrop.pinInteractionCue.delayMS 500 browser.tabs.dragDrop.selectTab.delayMS 350

But I can't make any sense of those.

Hi, I am writing from a fresh Nobara 42 install, using Gnome 48 and the default Wayland session. Firefox version is 144.0.2. I'm not sure this is the proper channel to report a bug, I expected a more standard form. Please redirect me if you know of a better place.

Essentially : click+drag using the tablet doesn't work, be it on web content or on the GUI. When I click+drag to move a tab, the rab is ripped off into a new window as soon as the drag event begins. This happens with both regular & vertical tabs. Simply clicking tabs -without moving the pen enough to trigger a drag event- activates them normally. Click+drag on a bookmark or history item does not work either. When doing so on a bookmark folder, it seems to be always registered as a click, and it consistently triggers the opening/closing of the folder, regardless of the distance traveled by the pointer between the press event and the release event.

Exception : click+drag to select text works fine. However, click+drag to move that text into the address bar to look it up does not work. The text stays selected, the pointer icon doesn't change to indicate that something is being dragged.

Note : I am using the terms "press event", "drag event" and "release event" liberally here. I don't actually know how this all works, it's magic to me. But I felt like this was the most straightforward way of communicating what's happening.

I have a mouse to the side, that I use only for this. But it would be nice to be rid of this necessity. Any help is welcome! Thank you.

Здравствуйте, из-за отсутствия места на диске ВЕСЬ МОЙ БРАУЗЕР ОТКАТИЛСЯ. У меня остались папки с профилями. Но когда я их загружаю, браузер говорит, что профиль не доступен. Что мне делать? На скриншоте папки из профиля. Мне хотя бы пароли восстановить...

Apparently downloads of the Firefox browser are tagged with something called dltoken so Mozilla can count unique installations. How do I verify the authenticity of the download since they don't match the untokened hash checksum?

I know downloads off the ftp site won't have the token, but I installed first and then remembered to check later.

For some months now, LinkedIn does not load 90% of the time. It just 'hangs'. It's the only website that this problem happens. So I switch to another browser to access LinkedIn now, which is my most used site.

So I reformatted my hard drive and everytime I finish I reinstall Firefox. I have an account where I log in and it put me back where I left off with all my past bookmarks that I saved. Ive been doing this for 10 years but today not sure whats going on but when I logged if all my stuff has disappeared. Please help or contact Mozilla regarding this. I cant understand why one cant directly speak to the ones who developed this browser. Quite frustrating

I am running macos 15.7.2.

Bought a faster external drive *named EXT3* and I copied my Firefox Profiles from EXT2 *previous External* to EXT3

I have added the location for the profile in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Firefox/profiles.ini

So far so good, but when EXT2 is NOT mounted the profile won't start, but only when EXT2 is MOUNTED then the profile will start.

Also connectivity is broken then, with that I mean I can't open any sites, not even a local one.

When I look in About:profiles I see that the profile in EXT3 is active and in use.

Any idea what is going on?

Ps:

macos: 15.7.2 Firefox Version:140.5.0 ESR

Hello I got a pop up or it was new tab informing about new firefox functions. It was about profile creation and management. Now i have two profiles and cant switch back to my old one. I cant seem to be able to delete new profile to return to my old one.

I've exactly the same problem as described here. https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1442833

This is a privacy problem, because most of the time when I open a website like google.com, I don't want to be logged in so the website can identify me. I only keep a container tab for such a website around, so I can open it if I explicitly want to be logged in.

After Installing new system on my laptop and singing in to my Mozilla account nothing was restored from it. Everything is empty as it is completely new account but I created this one few years back and never had a problem with a sync. Hopefully it will be restored since I had large amount of important bookmarks. If you can check and resolve it please. Thank you.

S.M.

How can I get all Firefox settings as a simple table? I am sure that is how they are kept by the program, somewhere outside the Firefox UI. Are they kept in the System Registry? It would sure make troubleshooting & continuity easier when moving to new devices/CPUs.
